TPS: Teaching Math

Parker: "Elizabeth, do you want to know what 16 x 32 is?"

Elizabeth: "Yes!"

They sit down on the floor.

Parker: "You see, you first multuple 6 and 2 and then carry the one. Then two times 1, plus 1 is 3 and you put that here. Now you take 3 times 6 and carry the one again. Then you add 3 plus 1 to get 4 and you put it here. Now you add them up."

Elizabeth: "Oh."

Parker: "You get 512! You see that?"

Elizabeth: "Yes."

Parker: "This is the kind of math Oliver does."

Elizabeth: "Ohhhhhhhh."
